I'm not sure I understand your logic. Might you be thinking regular 4/3? 
Like the Leicas, the µ4/3 bodies have no mirror. Also, no matter the 
mount or film/sensor size, a 50 mm lens set up to focus to infinity will 
be the same distance from the film plane, in this case courtesy of the 
LTM to µ4/3 adapter.

I'd think the only problem might be if the diameter of the protruding 
rear part of the lens is too great for the adapter.
